I agree with you. I removed Empathy and installed Pidgin right away because of the lack of customized emoticon and rich text. I am sure it is a great program. But I probably will not use it until customized emoticon and rich text are supported. Pidgin is good enough at the moment.

A nicely written piece, informative, coherent and intelligently put forward, respect due for a welcome relief from the usual dross I find on the internet, I will be watching out for more of your posts.

I have tried to use empathy. It’s UI is way much better than pidgin and much easier to use however it’s has lesser options for you to customize it unlike pidgin. At this stage, may cause system to crashes like i did. Thus, I’d continue to use pidgin till empathy gets more stable.

You are right.empathy has yet to support custom emoticons for MSN which pidgin does..MSN support like that is a big bonus as they sit on the majority of the IM market and webcam/voip support is considered a must have item these days.

I can see the potential, but when I installed empathy it missed support for Msn custom emoticons and Irc (maybe it is not even in the scope of this application). So it’s impossible for me to use it.
